Is Your Sleep Position Harming Your Rotator Cuff? | Sports-health

Injuries to the rotator cuff muscles that stabilize the ball-and-socket shoulder joint are the most common cause of shoulder pain. 1 Unsupported sleeping positions, such as sleeping with the arms above or behind the head, increase the likelihood of rotator cuff pain, whereas sleeping on the back with arms by the side helps avoid the risk of rotator cuff pain. 2

Adopting an ergonomic sleeping position and making adjustments to your sleeping surface reduces strain on the shoulders, alleviating rotator cuff pain and preventing future flare-ups.
